<P><STRONG>Functional Details</STRONG>
<P>
This module creates a series group from specified objects (e.g., a time
series from a set of fields).
The data and connections types of each field in the series must be
the same.
<TABLE CELLPADDING="3">
<TR VALIGN="TOP"><TD><P><B><TT><STRONG>object</STRONG></TT>
</B></TD><TD><P>is an object to be placed in the series
</TD></TR><TR VALIGN="TOP"><TD><P><B><TT><STRONG>position </STRONG></TT>
</B></TD><TD><P>specifies the series position (e.g., time tag) of the preceding
object
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>
A single CollectSeries module can have up to 21
<TT><STRONG>object</STRONG></TT>,<TT><STRONG>position</STRONG></TT> pairs.  The
default number of enabled parameter pairs (i.e.
<TT><STRONG>object</STRONG></TT>,<TT><STRONG>position</STRONG></TT>) is two.
(Tabs can be added to the module icon and removed with the appropriate
<TT><STRONG>...Input Tab</STRONG></TT> options in the
<TT><STRONG>Edit</STRONG></TT> pull-down menu of the VPE.)
<P>
The input parameters <TT><STRONG>object</STRONG></TT> and
<TT><STRONG>position</STRONG></TT> must be paired.
Note that items placed in a series can be selected only by ordinal
number, not by series position.
<P>
A single CollectSeries module can collect up to 21 objects together
in a group.
The default number of enabled parameter pairs (i.e.,
<TT><STRONG>object</STRONG></TT>, <TT><STRONG>position</STRONG></TT>)
is two.
(Tabs can be added to the module icon and removed with the appropriate
<TT><STRONG>...Input Tab</STRONG></TT> options in the
<TT><STRONG>Edit</STRONG></TT> pull-down menu of
the VPE.)
<P><STRONG>Components</STRONG>
<P>
All input components are propagated to the output.
